Program Overview

Program Overview

The Advanced Topics in Machine Learning seminar is offered by ETH Zurich during the Fall Semester 2017.

Description

In this seminar, recent papers of the machine learning literature are presented and discussed. Students will learn how to structure a scientific presentation in English which covers the key ideas of a scientific paper. An important goal of the seminar presentation is to summarize the essential ideas of the paper in sufficient depth while omitting details which are not essential for the understanding of the work. The presentation style will play an important role and should reach the level of professional scientific presentations.
